The Crypto Market Is Regaining Its Colors

The crypto market is regaining its colors after the “Black Monday” on April 7, which had triggered over one billion dollars in liquidations within 24 hours. Currently, the global market capitalization of cryptos reaches 2.53 trillion dollars, up 3.08% in a day, signaling a possible return of investor confidence.

Bitcoin at the head of a fragile recovery

Bitcoin, the engine of the market, is once again approaching the symbolic barrier of $80,000 this Tuesday. The queen of cryptos is trading at $79,675, with a 2.74% increase in 24 hours, despite a decrease of 3.63% over the week.

This rebound follows a brutal drop triggered by the announcement of new tariffs by President Donald Trump.

Other major cryptos also show significant gains:

• Ethereum (ETH): $1,585.39 (+2.28 %)
• XRP: $1.90 (+3.65 %)
• Solana (SOL): $111.29 (+7.90 %)
• Dogecoin (DOGE): $0.1511 (+6.16 %)
• Cardano (ADA): $0.5917 (+5.71 %)

This recovery, however, occurs in a delicate context for some major players. Strategy, Michael Saylor’s company, announced yesterday latent losses of $5.91 billion on its bitcoin investments in the first quarter of 2025, according to a document recently submitted to the SEC.

A crypto market that remains cautious despite the recovery

Investors remain composed despite this recovery. The fear and greed index remains low at 19 points, signaling a persistent “extreme fear”. This mistrust continues even as prices rise.

Bitcoin retains its dominant position with an Altcoin Season Index at only 17/100. Investors still favor this safe haven over alternative cryptos during times of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, trading volumes have surged by 18%, reaching $82 billion in 24 hours, a sign of increased activity on the platforms.

This improvement offers a respite to investors, but experts urge caution. Volatility is expected to persist over the coming days, as the market continues to absorb the impact of the economic measures announced by Donald Trump and their consequences on the entire crypto sector.
